samba - Mar 2008 - Problems with Samba

Hi,

I administrate a server (debian etch) on which runs samba, version 3.0.24-6et.
Everything worked fine until today. I tried to logon on the server via a
clientmachine (win2k, winxp), but i got an error, "System cannot logon
because domain not reachable".  (it is possible to ping the server and to
establish a shortcut (to logon) to the server - that works). I have no idea what
happens. The logfiles of smbd, nmbd are ok to mind, there is no advise for an
error (..startet...becomes_domain_controller etc.). I already tested my
sambaconfiguration via testparm, no problems. A simple restart of sambe
didn't help too. testparm also shows the right name for the workgroup etc.
Does anyone have an idea, where the problem could be?

The last changes i did on the server where updates via aptitude. 

thanks
Edgar

Are you sure there are no issues with the client machine?

I think there are no issues with the client machine, because nothing has
changed.i tried to repeat the process to register a clientmachine in the domain,
but it failed.
the role of my samba-server is: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC.
